The maximum size and lifespan of Mirror Carp are largely dependent on how well they are cared for.

Mirror Carp are not usually kept their whole lives in an aquarium due to their large size. If you keep juvenile Mirror Carp in your home aquarium until they are too large, you will be happy to find that they are a peaceful and slow-moving species. You will still want to ensure that you keep them with other fish that match their temperament. It is not a good idea to keep them with fish that are territorial or food aggressive. Goldfish and Koi are a good choice for a Mirror Carp tank or pond mate as they are similar in temperament and require roughly the same water parameters to thrive. Do Mirror Carp Exist in the U.S.?Juvenile Mirror Carp can be kept in the home aquarium, but ultimately they must be transferred to an outdoor pond setup. When setting up a tank for Mirror Carp juveniles, you will want to try to set up their aquarium to mimic their wild habitat closely. Their findings suggest that a small, otherwise unremarkable species called the cleaner wrasse has joined an elite handful of others to have passed the so-called mirror test, which has been used for decades as a gold standard measure of animal intelligence.

Mirror Carps do not take care of their fry. In fact, they will eat their eggs and fry.

The prospect of fish rising up the ranks of animal cognition has not been universally welcomed though, and the paper proved so controversial it took the authors five years to get it published. “Some areas of the academic community seem fairly intent on fish not joining the pantheon of smart things because then their own animals lose their special place in the world,” said Jordan.

Mirror Carp are a genetically mutated form of Common Carp. This mutation makes their scales larger and more sporadic on their bodies. These scales resemble mirrors, and this is where they get their name. I have never scaled or killed a carp myself, but I can imagine how difficult and probably also painful that must have been! The easiest time to tell the difference between males and females of the carp species is after they spawn. You will be able to look at the fish and see the vent of the male fish has a concave opening, while the vent of the female fish is more rounded and convex. Why Are They Called Mirror Carp?

Mirror carp, regionally known as Israeli carp, [note 1] are a type of domesticated fish commonly found in Europe but widely introduced or cultivated elsewhere. They are a variety of the common carp ( Cyprinus carpio) developed through selective breeding. The name "mirror carp" originates from their scales' resemblance to mirrors. They can grow in excess of 60lb (27kg) – the last few British record fish have all been mirror carp.

It’s not that this proves fish are as smart as chimpanzees,” said Jordan. “It shows that in this task the fish can perform in a similar way. They can understand what the mirror does and use the mirror to see its own body.” The mirror carp has its origin in Europe and is a slightly genetically altered version of the common carp. Mirror Carp, like most carp species, spawn in the spring and into the summer. You will visibly be able to see the female full of eggs. She will appear much more plump than the males. Once ready to spawn, the females will go to the more shallow, weedy, grassy areas. They will choose water that is more shallow but is going to rise. The carp splash around, and it is said that this helps the eggs adhere to surfaces. a b c d e f Kirpitchnikov, Valentin S. (1999). Billard, R.; Repérant, J.; Rio, J.P.; Ward, R. (eds.).

Now the select club may have an unlikely new member. Prof Gordon Gallup, a psychologist at the University at Albany in New York, who pioneered the mirror test in 1970, disputed whether the fish really recognised themselves.
